The state of the climate in 2023 – BBC

In the last few years, the world has experienced extreme weather, record temperatures and rapid ice melt. Where are we on key climate indicators? This week the UN’s climate science body is releasing a major report on the climate changes…

Arctic ice has seen an ‘irreversible’ thinning since 2007, study says – The Washington Post

Arctic sea ice declined dramatically in 2007 and has never recovered. New research suggests the loss was a fundamental change unlikely to be reversed this century, if ever — perhaps proof of the sort of climactic tipping point that scientists…

Sea ice on both poles at record low, finds WMO report

Antarctic sea ice cover at record low for 2nd consecutive year; Arctic sea ice extent is also at an all-time minimum 

‘Everyone should be concerned’: Antarctic sea ice reaches lowest levels ever recorded

For 44 years, satellites have helped scientists track how much ice is floating on the ocean around Antarctica’s 18,000km coastline. The continent’s fringing waters witness a massive shift each year, with sea ice peaking at about 18m sq km each…

Antarctic ice on the run, with a 45-year low

Antarctic ice is melting. This February, it’s at its lowest extent in the 45-year satellite record. Also, a long-term melt study suggests a surprising speed-up.

The post Antarctic ice on the run, with a 45-year low first appeared on EarthSky.

Antarctic Sea Ice Is The Lowest It’s Been in 45 Years of Records, Researchers Report – ScienceAlert

Antarctic sea ice likely shrunk to a record low last week, US researchers said Monday, its lowest extent in the 45 years of satellite record-keeping.​ The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder said…

Antarctic sea ice reaches another record low – USA TODAY

Sea ice around Antarctica reached a record low for the second straight year this month, scientists from the National Snow and Ice Data Center announced Monday.  “Antarctic sea ice has likely reached its minimum extent for the year, at 691,000 square…

Antarctic Ocean Ice Melts To Record Low. How This Impacts Global Warming – NDTV

The previous all-time low was set last year. (Representational) Paris: The Antarctic Ocean area covered by ice has shrunk to a record low, exposing the thicker ice shelves buttressing Antarctica’s ground ice sheet to waves and warmer temperatures, scientists reported…

Antarctica Doomsday Glacier: ‘We should all be very concerned’ – Al Jazeera English

Melting of the Florida-sized glacier is of grave concern, with the potential for significant global sea level rise. Scientists studying Antarctica’s vast Thwaites Glacier – nicknamed the “Doomsday Glacier” – say warm water is seeping into its weak spots, threatening…

‘Extreme situation’: Antarctic sea ice hits record low

The area of sea ice around Antarctica has hit a record low, with scientists reporting “never having seen such an extreme situation before”. The ice extent is expected to shrink even further before this year’s summer melting season ends. The…
